Alice: Hi! Sorry, I’m really late.
Chris: It’s OK. I am browsing the Internet anyway. Sit down for a while.
A: I wish I didn’t hurry so much to get here. Is what you are reading really so interesting?
C: I came across information about new disposable coffee cups.
A: What? Disposable coffee cups? What can be new about them?
C: You have seen how much trash there is in our park, haven’t you? It’s also on the sides of the roads...
A: Yes. So what? Some people have a most irritating habit of throwing their cups and packaging right on the ground. It’s disgusting but you can do nothing about it, can you?
C: That’s right. We can’t easily change adult people’s behaviour if they are not educated at an early age. But there’s something we are still able to change. Look at this picture. There are two coffee cups here. They look pretty much the same. But one is a traditional disposable cup and the other is made with the addition of plant-based compostable plastic.
A: And what makes it so remarkable?
C: It takes a traditional coffee cup from 5 to 50 years to break down and to disappear. The new cup breaks down in roughly 100 days.
A: Wow. Considering that billions of disposable cups (use) from our landscapes.
C: Yes, but that’s not the end of the story.
A: No? What else is there?
C: There are seeds of different plants in the caps.
A: Seeds? Are you saying that if I drop those new cups all over a lawn, a tree will grow there?
C: Exactly.
Many people all over the world are interested in sport. Sport helps people to stay healthy and makes them more organized and better disciplined in their daily activities.
They have always paid great attention to sport in our schools, colleges and universities. You can hardly find a school without a gym or a sportsground. Every city and town has a few stadiums or swimming pools, where local or even international competitions are usually held. Traditionally, sport could be divided into professional and amateur sport.
Former Soviet Union and later Ukrainian and Russian sportsmen have set a great number of world records in gymnastics, weightlifting, tennis, swimming, running, high jumping, etc. Our sportsmen also participate in the Olympic Games and always win gold, silver and bronze medals.
The Olympic Games have long history. They started in 776 ВС in Greece and took place every four years for nearly twelve centuries at Olympia. They included many different kinds of sports. All the cities in Greece sent their best athletes to Olympia to compete in the Games. When the Games took place, all the wars stopped. So, the Olympic Games became the symbol of peace and friendship.
Now, there are Summer and Winter Olympic Games. They are held separately. There are always several cities wishing to host the Games. The International Committee of Olympic Games selects the most suitable. After that, the host city starts its preparations for the competitions, constructs new sport facilities, or reconstructs them, reconstructs stadiums, hotels, press centres, etc. Thousand of athletes, journalists and guests arrive to the Games, and it takes great efforts to arrange everything.
Russia joined the Olympic movement in 1952. In 1980, Moscow hosted the twenty-second Olympic Games. The latest . Olympic Games were held in Sydney, Australia. Our sportsmen won medals in many sports. Next Olympic Games take place in Greece, the Motherland of these games.
